Re: Kadcyla/TDM1 CELEBRATION @ Genentech:)

Hello Coolbreeze, according to Genentech spokesman
Ed Lang:
The monthly cost of Kadcyla in the United States is $9,800. The estimated cost of a course of Kadcyla is approximately $94,000. This is based on people taking Kadcyla for 9.6 months.
When pricing Kadcyla, we considered a variety of factors including that cost of the combination of Tykerb and Xeloda (approximately $10,460 per month) which is the current standard treatment in this line of therapy and the comparator in the pivotal EMILIA study.
